Who would have thought he had such a full head of hair under there?

Chinese Arts Centre’s 21st birthday

On October 4th 2007 we sponsored the Chinese Arts Centre’s 21st birthday and our own resident Chinese chef (Robert Gong) cooked up the authentic dim sum.

The
Chinese Arts Centre was established in 1986 by a group of British Chinese artists based in Manchester. The orginal centre was based in Chinatown, and was financially supported by Manchester City Council and Arts Council England. Today the gallery can be found in the Northern Quarter, its a magnificent space and includes an artist residency studio and apartment, an education suite, resource area, offices, shop and teahouse.
To celebrate their 21st birthday they showcased a fantastic exhibition; Boutique.

The Chinese Arts Centre has a strong history as a national charity for the development and promotion of Chinese arts and culture in the UK. Chinese Arts Centre is based in Manchester, a city with the second largest Chinese community in the UK. Chinese Arts Centre aims to develop an infrastructure to allow Chinese arts, and especially British Chinese artists, to flourish. Their work covers four main areas; exhibitions, education, agency work and advocacy which includes training, conferences and publications.
